Nominations are being accepted for the Marquette University Excellence in Diversity and Inclusion awards. There are two awards: one for faculty and one for staff. Each year, the Office of the Provost and the Office of the President will recognize one faculty member and one staff member who demonstrate exemplary leadership and manifest the ideals of diversity, equity and inclusion into practical action. Members of the Marquette community are encouraged to nominate one or more candidates for each award.

- Student-centered inclusion initiatives
- Efforts to support recruitment and retention of diverse faculty and/or students
- Teaching and/or research that expands and embraces our understanding of inclusiveness
